Movie to See - Be Kind Rewind

Hello all,

I just wanted to let you in on a little film coming out this month called "Be Kind Rewind".

Most of the movie was shot in the fall of 2006 in Passaic, NJ. Plus, I'm very happy to say, most of the extras are from Passaic and part of the GreatNJ.com family, so I urge you to please check it out.

Here's the plot as per Wikpedia (http://en.wikipedia.org):

Jerry (Jack Black) is a junkyard worker who attempts to sabotage a power plant that he believes is melting his brain. But when his plan goes awry, the magnetic field that he creates accidentally erases all of the videotapes in a local video store where his best friend Mike (Mos Def) works. Fearing that the mishap will cost Mike his job, the two friends team up to keep the store's only loyal customer,­ a little old lady with a tenuous grasp on reality ­(Mia Farrow) from realizing what has happened by recreating and re-filming every movie that she decides to rent. The tapes are described as having come from Sweden as an excuse for higher rental fees and longer wait times. Jerry and Mike become the biggest stars in their neighborhood by starring in some of the biggest movies ever made, but soon get into trouble when it turns out their 20-minute duplicate films violate copyright law.

Go and check it out. You just might see someone you know!

Enjoy
